I'm sorry nobody can understand the trinity.

Even those who say they believe it.

With God and is God.

God is greater, but also equal to.

God's will not my will.

Jesus used the expression 'my God' some 8 times.

John, Paul, and Peter all say that Jesus has a God.

That is why many reference works say that the bible doesn't teach a trinity.

Paul at 1 Cor 8:6 states that there is only one God, the Father.

Christians are baptized "in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit." They are not baptized "in the names" of the Father, Son and Spirit because there is only one God, the Most Holy Trinity. The baptismal confession of faith has three parts because "the faith of all Christians rests on the Trinity" (St. Caesarilus of Arles).

The Trinity is the central mystery of Christian life, the source of all the other mysteries, and the most fundamental mystery in "the hierarchy of the truths of faith." The whole history of salvation is identical with the way God revealed himself as Father, Son and Spirit.

The best way to understand the Holy Trinity is to look at ourselves. We are a tripartite being - body, soul, and spirit - for we were made in the image and likeness of God. St. Patrick used a shamrock, a leaf with three segments to help people visualize the Holy Trinity.

Peace and blessings!

Christianity, the doctrine of the Trinity states that God is one being who exists, simultaneously and eternally, as a mutual indwelling of three persons: the Father, the Son (incarnate as Jesus of Nazareth), and the Holy Spirit. Since the 4th century, in both Eastern and Western Christianity, this doctrine has been stated as "three persons in one God," all three of whom, as distinct and co-eternal persons, are of one indivisible Divine essence, a simple being. Supporting the doctrine of the Trinity is known as Trinitarianism. The majority of Christians are Trinitarian, and regard belief in the Trinity as a test of orthodoxy. Opposing, nontrinitarian positions that are held by some groups include Binitarianism (two deities/persons/aspects), Unitarianism (one deity/person/aspect), the Godhead (Latter Day Saints) (three separate beings) and Modalism (Oneness).

In addition to teaching that God comprises three persons, the doctrine also teaches that the Son Himself has two distinct natures, one fully divine and the other fully human.

Neither the Old Testament nor New Testament uses the term "Trinity," though Trinitarians believe the concept is implicit in various biblical passages (see Scripture section below). The doctrine of the Trinity is the result of continuous exploration by the church of the biblical data, argued in debate and treatises.[1] It was expressed in early writings from the beginning of the second century forward.[1] The First Council of Nicaea in 325 AD established a nearly universal Trinitarian dogma and expressly rejected any heresies. The most widely recognized Biblical foundations for the doctrine's formulation are in the Gospel of John.[2]

It was explained to me this way: An apple has 3 main parts. The skin, the meat, and the core. They all make up the apple, but are different parts of it. I think its close to the way it is with the trinity. There is the father, the son, and the holy spirit. The all make up God. But they all have different "roles", if you will. The father is God, the son is God in the flesh who died for our sins, and the Spirit is what dwells inside of God's children.

Trinity is a man made doctrine, not in the Bible.
Trinity Broadcasting Corp (TBN) is not biblical.
Pst: "false Christs shall arise": make false X-ians.
Getting hung up on the cross: "Cursed Everyone"!
TBN does not promote Unity, but rather Division, for $.
Mark & Avoid them causing divisions: Romans 16:17.

The objective is not to "believe", but to "know": John 8:32.
Devils "believe": James 2:19; So believe not: Mt 24:23,26.

Of three things: great->greater->greatest,
only the "greatest" of three "never faileth": 1Cor 13:13.

True salvation is through Jesus->Christ->God-ward.
Many trinitarians go with Christ->Jesus->Law-ward.
Forgive them. Reason: they "know not" what they do.
(they law impute sin and death to all, for the hell of it)

The GRACE of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen.

God the Father the one who created us, God the Son repaired the convenant between God and man, God the Holy Spirit the Comforter sent when Jesus died and rose and also our seal that we belong to Him. If you notice in Genesis, not sure which chapter but as God was creating he noted "Let us and we" so the trinity was present even then.

The Trinity is three parts; the father, son and holy spirit.

It's like an apple, there's the peel, fruit, and core. Three different parts, but all the same apple.


Hope this helps

Friend, I will try to explain it, Many thinks there is 3 persons in the Godhead, But there is not, We have ONE GOD, but in 3 manesfestation of the same spirit, Example, I am a Husband, & a Grandfather, & a brother, But I am one person, The Godhead does not have 3 persons in the Godhead, First of all God is NOT a person but a spirit, & the Holy Ghost is not a Person but a spirit, The Bible says there is only One God & One Spirit, One Lord, One Faith One Baptism. God has NEVER been a person & never will be, many trinity people try to say Jesus was God, Jesus was NOT God, But the Son of God. God can not & will not & did not die, It was Jesus Christ that died, To all trinity people, If you think God died, Then satan had the power to not to allow him to rise from the dead again, So God did not die, You have One spirit working in 3 manesfestation or works or the self same spirit, You have God as the creator, You have God in his son ONLY after John Baptized Jesus at age 30, Trinity people study it before you thumbs down, God did not dwell in Jesus until John baptized him & The Holy Ghost came down in the form of a dove, & God said this is my beloved Son, in whom I am please to dwell in. And Jesus was 30 yrs. old when that happen, Then after Jesus rose again he asccended back to heaven & God came back in his 3rd part of the operations of the One & only Spirit of God, & that was in the form of the Holy Ghost as we also know as the Holy Ghost. Trinity people need to understand that God & the Holy Ghost was never a person but ONE SPIRIT working in different stages of the self same spirit. Jesus Christ had the Holy Ghost without measure which means that all God is was put into Jesus Christ, But Not all of God spirit was put there because God is everywhere, With us we have the spirit of God or we can say the Holy Ghost with measure, In other words a portion, yet it is the Holy Ghost. Trinity people God & the Holy Ghost is not & never have been a person but a spirit. Now to sum this down One spirit working in 3 different offices, God as the creator, God In Jesus Christ as the redeemer & reconciling the world back unto himself & the Same spirit of God that was the creator now as the Holy Ghost or the comforter in us.

I've also heard it explained this way to teens so they grasp the concept. Take a new mother for example, she is a mother to her daughter/son, she is a daughter to her mother, and she is probably a sister to someone else, 3 distinct descriptions, but still the same person. God is the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit
